Q2111995 Inglês
    Although women nowadays outnumber men in higher education, they remain strongly underrepresented in math-intensive fields. This underrepresentation is a source of concern for two main reasons: It contributes substantially to gender inequality in the labor market, and it represents a loss of potential talent that could in particular help meeting the growing demand of skills related to the development of information technology and artificial intelligence.
        Despite these concerns, the underrepresentation of women in math-intensive fields has remained constant or even increased in most developed countries during the past two decades. This underrepresentation is also more pronounced in more developed countries and in countries that are more gender equal in terms of economic and political opportunities and rights, a pattern that has been named the “gender-equality paradox”.

Training for the Javelin

The javelin is over 400,000 years old. This long, pointed stick was first used as a weapon before it became an integral event in the Olympic Games. Though even as a sport, it can still cause damage today.

Javelin throwers can become injured because they often repeat the same action many times during training or competitions. There is especially a risk of elbow injury if athletes bend their arms the wrong way when they throw the javelin. As with all sports, it’s important to warm up properly before practicing the javelin.

For people considering taking up this sport, here are some suggestions for preventing injury:

1. Practice with a professional coach. It’s essential to develop a good technique from the beginning.

2. Develop healthy eating habits and a good diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and protein (chicken or fish). Don’t skip breakfast on the day of the competition.

3. When competing ___________sports events, plan the day properly. Competitions can begin ____________the morning, so start your warm up when you get up. Do exercises for your arms, legs, back, and neck before you put your gym clothes and go the stadium.

4. It’s important for athletes to keep their body temperatures up, so after warming up, it’s best to wear a tracksuit while waiting for the event to begin. Sometimes the different parts of the competitions take place at different times. In between, keep your throwing arm warm. For example, wrap a towel around it while you’re waiting. 

5. After the competition, many athletes want to relax and hang out with their friends, but don’t finish the competition without cooling down first. Put ice on the throwing arm for about a quarter of an hour. This prevents injuries after the event.

6. Finally, don’t practice too much. Only Olympic athletes need to practice every day. Sports are for fun. Just enjoy the event.
Choose the alternative that defines correctly the word ‘though’ in “Though even as a sport, it can still cause damage today”.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder a questão.

(1º§) Ann Fortune FitzRoy, the Duchess of Grafton, passed away aged 101. Her death is another blow for the Queen and comes less than a year since Her Majesty's husband Prince Philip, who she called her "strength and guide" died aged 99 in April and her grandson Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left for the US. Fortune served the Royal Household for the monarch's entire 69-year reign and made her Majesty the godmother to her second daughter, Lady Virginia FitzRoy, in 1954.

(2º§) The Duchess was appointed the Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order in 1980 - an award made personally by the Queen for services to the sovereign. Few people have had such long-standing and close relations with the Queen. She was one of only two Mistress of the Robes during the Queen's reign - formerly a role wielding responsibility for the monarch's clothes and jewellery.

(3º§) Now mostly a honorary title, the Mistress of the Robes also has a more invisible role of being a source of friendship and advice for the Queen. The Duchess was known for executing her duties faultlessly and never spoke about her responsibilities with the Royal Family in depth.

(4º§) She attended all of the most important royal events, such as state visits and the State Opening of Parliament while also being in charge of the rota of ladies-in-waiting. She accompanied the Queen during her trip to Nigeria in 1956 and trips to Paris in 1972 and Russia in 1994. In 1980, during a visit to Morocco, the Duchess was ordered to leave then-ruler King Hassan's compound despite having been invited to stay.

(5º§) Born in 1920 as Anne Fortune Smith, she married the 11th Duke of Grafton Hugh FitzRoy in 1946 and they had five children before his death in April 2011. Fortune took on the title of Duchess of Grafton after the death of his father. The duchess joined the Royal Household on the year of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953 as Lady of the Bedchamber for the Queen. She became Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in the New Year's Honours list 1965 and was one of her Majesty's closest friends.

IT HELP DESK

11_- 15.png (291×221) 

    Working the IT help desk can be a great entry-level job. As a help desk professional, your core responsibilities are to provide technical help and support; that could mean setting up and repairing computers or responding to a customer’s question about how to use their computer, as well as performing routine maintenance of a company’s computer networks and internet systems or teaching staff how to use new technologies. The job requires deep computer knowledge and good technical and interpersonal skills. But what if you want more? Additional credentials and advanced degrees can help you move beyond the IT help desk. Here are three career paths to consider.
     (i) Cloud and systems administrator – Network and systems administration is a natural next step from the IT help desk. Organizations need reliable computer networks, so there’s great demand for skilled professionals who can manage, administer, and protect computer systems. (ii) Network ops and security expert - Cybersecurity is a top-of-mind concern in every sector and industry. IT professionals with expert training in network operations and security systems are in high demand. (iii) IT manager – Yes, you will need plenty of experience, credentials, and certifications; still, you can get to a managerial or executive-level position from the IT help desk. It can be tough to see the top through all those steps of the stair, but the top is closer than you think.
   Software development, computer network architecture, and computer programming are other possible professions those working on the IT help desk or in other entry-level IT positions can pursue. In today’s ever-changing job marketplace, there’s no one career pathway.

A Mayor on Easter Island Is Up in Arms After a Runaway Pickup Truck Knocked Over a Sacred Statue


(1º§)Archaeologists have long assumed that the ancient society that erected the colossal Moai figures on Chile's Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, collapsed many centuries ago. Now, a new study indicates that the islanders' civilization was still going strong when Europeans arrived in 1722.
(2º§)The island was settled in the 13th century by Polynesians, and is known __ the famed Easter Island "heads" (many of the bodies have been buried by erosion over the centuries).
(3º§)The research, which appears in the Journal of Archaeological Science, contests the accepted timeline that the Easter Island society was already in decline by the year 1600 and its massive stone statues left to fall into disrepair.
(4º§)Conducting radiocarbon dating on 11 sites __ Easter Island, the authors determined the timeline of each monument's construction. Their findings indicate that Easter Islanders were still actively building new Moai figures, and maintaining existing ones, up until at least 1750.s of fresh water-a precious resource. As well as moments to their ancestors, it turns out they may have also served a more utilitarian purpose.
(5º§)Further supporting these results are historical documents __ the island's first European visitors. Written accounts from the Dutch explorers who arrived in 1722 found that the monuments were in active ritual use, with no signs of decline, and the same goes for the Spaniards who landed in 1770. It was only in 1774 that James Cook found the giant statues in ruins and the figures knocked over.
(6º§)"The way we interpret our results and this sequence of historical accounts is that the notion of a pre-European collapse of monument construction is no longer supported," lead author Robert DiNapoli told Archaeology & Arts.
(7º§)"Once Europeans arrive on the island, there are many documented tragic events due to disease, murder, slave raiding and other conflicts," added co-author Carl Lipo. "The degree to which [the Rapa Nui people's] cultural heritage was passed on-and is still present today through language, arts, and cultural practices-is quite notable and impressive. I think this degree of resilience has been overlooked due to the collapse narrative and deserves recognition."

Text 01 (For question) 


  Films are a great medium to use not only to practice English, but also to facilitate intercultural learning. Today English is a global language spoken by people from many countries and cultural backgrounds. Since culture greatly impacts communication, it is helpful for teachers to introduce lessons and activities that reveal how different dialects, forms of address, customs, taboos, and other cultural elements influence interaction among different groups. (...)
  Culture, according to one definition, is the values, traditions, customs, art, and institutions shared by a group of people who are unified by nationality, ethnicity, religion, or language. The language teaching profession‟s interest in cross-cultural communication has increased during the past few decades. According to Kramsch (1995), the development is due to political, educational, and ideological factors; even though politicians might feel that learning a foreign language will solve socioeconomic problems, educators think that for that to happen a language course must contain legitimate cultural content. (...)
   Intercultural topics that show how people from different backgrounds communicate and interact are becoming more prominent in language teaching. Teachers can benefit from the treasure trove of films that deal with subjects like immigration, xenophobia, adjusting to a new culture, or dilemmas faced when one belongs to two cultures. Although films cannot substitute for actual interaction with numbers of other cultures, they can provide useful preparation for those encounters by fostering understanding and developing sensitivity. “Learning about stereotypes, ethnocentrism, discrimination, and acculturation in the abstract can be flat and uninspiring. But if we experience intercultural contact with our eyes and years, we begin to understand it” (Summerfield 1993, 1). Intercultural contact through films enables students to understand other people‟s actions and to have empathy with members of minority groups. Films also vividly represent intercultural misunderstandings and the roots of racism.
   There is a wide variety of films with intercultural themes, and the teacher must consult reviews or see the movie firsthand to determine if it is appropriate for the desired lesson.
